Duration: 40 to 1 hoursYour driver is waiting in the KEF arrivals hall with your name on a board, ready to take your bags and drive you straight to your door in Reykjavik. No taxi queue, no shuttle stops, no strangers in the car - just your group and a 45-minute ride into the city.

Want a first taste of Iceland on the way? Pick the option with a photo stop at the Bridge Between Continents: your driver takes the short detour across the Reykjanes lava fields, waits while you walk the footbridge between the North American and Eurasian plates, and continues to your hotel. About 20 minutes, no tickets, in daylight hours.
We track your flight from departure and your driver waits up to 60 minutes after you land at no extra cost, so an early arrival or a long delay changes nothing. USB charging and bottled water on board, and free rescheduling if your flight is moved or cancelled.

Reviews
Car service Keflavik Airport (KEF) to Reykjavik: Private Arrival Transfer956perryw
Our pickup service was very good. The driver was in contact with me via WhatsApp while we still at Newark Airport because our flight was delayed (finally left 2.5 hours late).
When we arrived in Iceland we contacted again and he was ready for our ride into town. He was kind enough to stop at a local supermarket so we able to stock up our Airbnb kitchen.
A very good experience.

Easy and well priced transfer. Great communication. Q
Reliable and Comfortable Airport Pickup_ukaszc57
Our airport transfer was faultless from start to finish - the driver was courteous, on time, and helped with luggage, which made landing and heading into the city really smooth. The vehicle was comfortable and the conversation (and local tips!) made the ride feel so much friendlier than a regular taxi. Highly recommend this if you’d rather start your trip relaxed than dealing with buses or shuttles.

Fast, efficient and courteous airport transportation52BarbaraR
The Car Buddy driver was waiting for us outside the Baggage Claim area at KEF (Keflavik Airport in Iceland) with our name on a sign. He arrived earlier than I had arranged in my reservation and we were grateful to see him. He quickly took us and our luggage to the mini-van parked nearby and drove us to our hotel in Reykjavik. He was a good driver and we had a fast, easy trip. Thumbs up! We would definitely use Car Buddy again on a return trip to Iceland.

Great private ride from airport to hotelConstance_H
Adriana was our private driver and she was wonderful! Met us right outside of baggage holding an electronic sign with my name on it. Lovely clean car and just enough pleasant conversation and music for the approximately 45 minute ride to our hotel. She even pointed out a couple of highlights along the way. I thought the price was reasonable for a private ride with my husband as I didn’t want to do a bus. If you can ask for the lovely Adriana, you should. Great start to my Iceland visit.
Very professional and expert guided trip.OmarD87
Very good experience.

Great communication, starting from sending a photo of the the pickup location via WhatsApp well in advance of arrival. Car was nice and new, and Matt was friendly and helpful throughout. He even provided some sparkling water and treats for the ride! Would recommend and use again.
Great conversation from the airport to hotelClimber60333206038
Nov 26, 2024, 12:10:50 PM I was met by Matt at the airport at 6 in the morning. I appreciate anyone that will wake up at that time. He and I had a great conversation covering many topics including questions I had about Iceland. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
It will be repeatedCarlosM113
Excellent.
My wife and I were the first time in Iceland, and the first contact was this trip. Very gentle, and tremendously helpful to answer the countless questions we asked
